REDLANDS, Calif. (Oct. 2, 2010) – The last six times the Occidental College women's soccer team has taken the field they have walked away unbeaten. Today, it took the Tigers a mere 23 seconds to put away the winning goal and stretch that streak to half a dozen.

After four consecutive victories, three in Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play, Occidental earned a tie with Whittier on Wednesday. Today, the Black and Orange returned to the win column with a 1-0 defeat of the University of Redlands on the road.

Junior Liz Martin took the Bulldogs by storm when she stepped in front of a Redlands pass and struck a quick one-timer into the net, marking the only scoring of the afternoon.

Tigers' goalie, Robin Feldman, played all 90 minutes, blocking five Bulldogs' shots and earning her third shutout of the 2010 season. Redlands out shot Oxy 17-12, and earned six corner kicks to the Tigers' one.

Manning the back field today were Martin, Bree Geary, Season Falkler-Rodriguez and Andrea Loh.

Occidental (6-1-1, 4-0-1 SCIAC) returns home on Wednesday, Oct. 6 when they will host the unbeaten California Lutheran University Regals (8-0-1, 3-0-1 SCIAC) in the first of four consecutive home contests. Teams will kick off at 4:00 p.m. on the Lower Soccer Field.
